I would like an honest opinion cause if i race for money i dont really want to lose. thanks in advance Quote
BigCP Posted July 23, 2005 Report Posted July 23, 2005 honestly man you should blow his doors off! i raced a 400ex once when i had my 97 shee with just t-5's and waited on him a while at the finish line so if i was you i would definitely kick it a nickel!! Quote
Brian060 Posted July 23, 2005 Report Posted July 23, 2005 that 465ex should be similar to the new 450s. Be careful man, it may be closer than you'd think! Quote
locogato11283 Posted July 23, 2005 Report Posted July 23, 2005 better hope he cant ride or his runs like shit cuz he may get you...better not throw up any money for this one. you get a bad start and you are done. Quote
trail rider Posted July 23, 2005 Report Posted July 23, 2005 You should eat him on takeoff, sounds like you have good bottem end, but they say not as much topend with those 2 into 1 pipes. enless your geared fairly high, he could pull past you at the end. I've raced a couple 400's (kfx, EX,) and both the riders are very good, probably better than me, and they stayed rite with my banshee on a drag on both pavement and in a grass field. Quote
tOj Posted July 23, 2005 Report Posted July 23, 2005 that 465ex should be similar to the new 450s. Be careful man, it may be closer than you'd think! 395930[/snapback] I agree, and with that dynoport piipe you won't really be running from him top end. Quote
Gargamel Posted July 23, 2005 Report Posted July 23, 2005 change that pipe so you have top and you should take him. Quote
tats4life Posted July 23, 2005 Report Posted July 23, 2005 if you only run 330ft he'll smoke you espically on asphualt......cause i damn sure would with my ex Quote
super88_banshee Posted July 23, 2005 Report Posted July 23, 2005 Yeah, just for giggles yesterday i switched from t5's to the dynoport i had laying around and DamN! no top end power at all, but great bottom end. Ok, back on track, there is a guy 15 min away from me that has a 400ex modded out the a@@ Its like a 440 bore with a stroker crank, the only thing stock in the motor is the case. And my banshee would outrun it before i was ported! But i dunno with that dynoport Quote
aschultz91 Posted July 24, 2005 Author Report Posted July 24, 2005 i forgot to mention i had noss coolheads with 21cc domes... so you guys all agree if i have t-5's and mayby a taller tire i could beat this guy. cause hes willing to race pink slips or cash which would be nice to have. so if i race him i wanna make sure i have the advantage over him. he is pretty experience at riding and jumping but not drag racing. Im not either Quote
ELMER Posted July 24, 2005 Report Posted July 24, 2005 im runnin stock with fmf fatties and powercore2 sil. im smokin 400...450 the yfz is the best runner... Quote
Wallrat Posted July 24, 2005 Report Posted July 24, 2005 I think its gonna be close man. Those 400's can be made pretty fast. Drawback of em is he's done almost everything he can for power whereas your bike still has tons of potential. He probably knows this which is why he's trying to find a mildly modded shee to race for pinks. He's tired of his 400! If you raced him 10x, you'd probably win 6 of em. Shit odds if your racing for pinks. Change the pipe, get some porting, then race. Quote
Rare Scottish Tree Badger Posted July 24, 2005 Report Posted July 24, 2005 What's "pinks"? ... Rare. Quote
biggun6ss Posted July 24, 2005 Report Posted July 24, 2005 What's "pinks"? ... Rare. 396419[/snapback] Racing for " pink's " means that you race title for title. Whoever wins rides off with both quads. Not very fun if you lose. Most losers just keep riding and don't hold up their end of the bargain. Quote
